That happens only for as long as the second language remains foreign to you.
Once you get comfortable, it does not happen. I remember reaching out for German
words when trying to learn English. I have never known very much of German, but
enough to hit the above effect. When I started learning Spanish, I was
comfortable enough with English to be thinking in it. English stayed where it
was supposed to, and so did Russian. You do forget sometimes, though, in a
multi-lingual environment, and with a lot of people of a wide mix around you
which language(s) the person you are speaking to knows.
